GNOME 2 code is available, GPL and if distributions want to maintain it, they can include it forever. Secondly, if you have a group that shares your view, fork the GNOME code and package it for Fedora or any other distributions... knock yourself out. Seems as though it's awful easy to whine but none of the whiners actually want to do any of the work. Lastly, you seem eager to speak for many people but I don't see but a handful of vocal obdurates that 400 years ago would have been known as 'flat earth' people. Life goes on, things change, your ox has been gored. Do something about it if you want but recognize that endless whining on list pretty much is a waste of time and energy... suit yourself. ---- > the same for "if you are unhappy with the direction fedora goes" > everybody who says "switch the distro" must be a child and never > worked in his life because he has simply too much time if he > can happily switch his whole system ---- nope... pretty much all the distro's are wrestling with the same issues. For that matter, Apple has done much the same with Lion and Microsoft is doing much the same with Windows 8. Everyone is on a drive to produce the next generation user interface. C'est la vie - Oh blah di oh blah da, life goes on. I switched to Ubuntu server - wasn't a big deal. It was still Linux last time I checked.
